What is the answer?
Gee, thanks for messing me up, Arkansas State.
After last night Everytime, Jerry Lewis, kurt, and I are still in the running for bowl champ, and Lady D and Miss Kitty are in the running for #2 overall (30A Skunkape, PearlsB4U, Red Dawg and I are no longer in contention for number 2). Congrats to the contenders and, of course, to the overall winner Iris.
I know it puts me in a 1-point lead for a few hours, but I don't know why I picked Northern Illinois; maybe because I remember them beating my UA in Tuscaloosa 8 yrs ago. I picked Ark St on the ESPN pick 'em (which gave another guy a guaranteed win for our group, and me no better than 2nd). I really need UA to win and rush the most tonight, but good luck to everyone! I've enjoyed participating again this year! Thanks also to cnestg8r for coordinating this and to BR for weekly reminders!
Sudden death - best time finish in the Seaside Half Marathon. Ah, never mind, all event registrations are sold out. Going to run it next year I hope.
Cnestg8r, if no one in a tie situation predicts the exact number of points scored in the game, is the winner the one who picked closest to the exact number of points? And, let's say that 38 points are scored in the game and one person in the tie picks 40 and the other picks 36. Do we just leave it as a tie? I think so. But then I'm prejudiced.

The answer is yes - closest wins, If it is still a tie - Yes, it remains a tie.

Also it was decided in a PM between Skunky and cnestg8r that if someone is tied for first for the pick'em bowl season winner and s/he hasn't posted a tiebreaker, s/he loses the tie.
So please, if someone knows Jerry Lewis, please contact him. He has until kickoff to post his tie breaker.
BTW ties for second, third, etc., will be allowed. The only tiebreaker is for first place as the bowl season winner.

After getting surprised by how fast it filled up for 2011, we signed up on 9/18 for the 2012 race!
This year is probably too busy for me; I had a 10 mile race this weekend, then running the Auburn Half on 1/21, and the Mercedes Marathon (full, my first) in B'ham on 2/12/12, so I wasn't sure if I'd feel like running another half by 3/04. My wife wants me to run Seaside at some point, just for a beach trip excuse and for whatever the fancy Vera Bradley gift is...
Good luck when y'all run it!

I have a feeling I should have gone with LSU where most rushing yards are concerned. In the previous game between the two Bama only had 96 rushing yards to LSU's 148. And since Miss Kitty went with LSU both ways, she will probably beat me out of second place. Oh well, good luck Miss Kitty.
Countdown.

EDIT: That was the countdown to the televised game. Now it's about to really happen. Good luck to all since it's great for the SEC. Have funn, Kathy and Skunky! Wish the Gators were there, but it's nice not to be totally stressed about a game.
EDIT #2: Very boring game. Hard to stay awake.
EDIT #3: My nephew goes to Alabama and is in NOLA with his best friend and their girlfriends. He got two tix in the lottery. I'm sure the girlfriends are having more fun at the hotel.
